He combined employment in the Hungarian film industry alongside work writing for cabarets.Khatib p.37 Mihály was born to a Jewish family in Budapest. He began working in the silent era, and directed a single film ''The Seventh Veil'' (1927). His career flourished in the 1930s following the introduction of sound film, but the Anti-Jewish laws enacted by the Horthy regime forced him to work using an alias during the 1940s.

In a weakened condition he died in Bruck an der Leitha.
